1、Three Days to SeeAll of us have read thrilling(毛骨悚然的) stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed(命中注定的) hero chose to spend his last days
2、 or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned(被判有罪的) criminals whose sphere (范围)of activities is strictly delimited.Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we
3、 crowd into those last hours as mortal (临终的)beings, what regrets?Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreci
4、ation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama(全景画) of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean(古希腊哲学家) motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry”. But most people would be chastened(磨练) by the certainty of impendin
5、g(迫近的) death.In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived,
6、 in the shadow of death bring a mellow(甘美的,醇香的) sweetness to everything they do.Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant(轻快地) health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it
7、. The days stretch out in an endless vista(街景). So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless(冷漠的) attitude toward life.The same lethargy(无生气), I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties(才能) and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold
8、(多方面的) blessings(祝福) that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment (损害)of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights
9、 and sounds hazily(朦胧地), without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
